About the Presentation

The Internet and electronic business
hold both promise and peril for Canada and Canadian businesses. As a
nation, we have meaningful competitive advantages that are being put at
risk by significant disincentives to new investment needed to make the
most of our opportunities. Jeff Chisholm will draw on his involvement
with the Canadian e-Business Opportunities Roundtable to discuss the
ways in which Canada can accelerate its leadership in the Internet
Economy. He will also offer a perspective on the lessons Bank of
Montreal has learned from its considerable experience with e-business
and suggest opportunities for Canada's banks to play a broader role in fostering
Canadian e-business with companies of all sizes.
